Of Law and Puppies
"No, Emma," Regina shook her head adamantly; "we don't need a puppy."
Emma pouted from her seat at the kitchen island, as she watched her wife put bread in the toaster.
"Why not, Gina?" she whined, "Henry wants one too."
"Because children and dogs don't mix," she tutted.
As if to prove her point, Henry walked in with his barely three year sister on his back.
"Alexis wants one too right?" Emma smiled as she picked up her daughter. The little girl eagerly wrapped her arms around her mother and nodded vigorously, though she didn't know what she was talking about.
Regina rolled her eyes and smiled at her daughter, handing Emma the girls breakfast, and the blonde walked over to the high chair.
"Have you never seen a video of a toddler playing with a dog?"
"No, because I actually do my job, Sheriff," Regina chuckled , handing Henry some toast.
"Come on, it would be so cute," Emma sighed as she imagined their blonde brown eyed daughter playing with a husky
"The answer is no Emma," Regina walked over to the blonde, placing a coffee on the side, she kissed her lightly on the lips, and then stroked Alexis's cheek. "I'll see you later," she laughed.
Emma pouted again, and Regina just rolled her eyes and walked to the door, Henry not far behind with his back pack in hand.
"Love you," Regina smirked.
"Love you too."
"This is the worst idea you've ever had," Henry chuckled as Emma sat crossed legged on the floor of the sheriff's station playing with the blue eyed husky.
"She said I couldn't have one at home, Alfie can be the sheriff's dog."
"I hope you're going to train him," Charming chuckled from his desk.
Emma nodded, and grabbed a bag of buttons, "I already started," she said proudly."Sit," the puppy instantly sat, "paw," after a moment; Alfie offered his paw to the blonde. Placing the buttons on the floor she smiled triumphantly at her father.
"A police dog needs to be able to do more than that," he scoffed.
"I've only had him for a few hours, besides I'm not sending this little guy into the line of fire," Emma cooed as she brought the puppy into her arms.
"Mom is going to kill you," Henry chuckled as he slung his backpack over his shoulder. "Free period is almost over, is that all you wanted to show me."
Emma nodded, not looking away from the puppy and the boy just rolled his eyes and walked out.
"You know it's not in your best interest to defy Regina," Charming said, interrupting Emma's giggles as the puppy licked her face.
"Defy her?" Emma chuckled, "she's my wife dad, not my master."
When Charming didn't reply, Emma looked up at her father questioningly and only to see him trying to hold back a snicker, looking behind her.
Emma gulped and turned around to find Regina holding Alexis, she had a raised eyebrow as she stared at the puppy.
"Hey Gina," Emma smiled shyly, "meet Alfie."
Regina continued to stare at her and Emma decided to try and prove her father wrong standing up she went over to the pair holding the puppy.
Regina held out her hand though, "have you ever had chicken pox?"
"Errmm…yes…" Emma was about to ask why before she noticed Alexis trying desperately to scratch a spot on her arm.
Placing the puppy on the floor, she instantly replaced him with her daughter, "are you okay Lexi?" She cooed.
The girl shook her head, "it's itchy mommy."
"I know, but you can't scratch," she whispered, then looking up at Regina she asked, "have you had them?"
Regina shook her head with a sigh, until now she had put a protective spell to prevent the spread while she made her way to the station, but it was taking way too much magic to maintain for long.
"You should probably go then, I got this," Emma said as she lightly tickled Alexis's nose causing her to giggle.
"And what about the puppy…"
"Alfie," Emma corrected.
Regina rolled her eyes, "don't you think you should be focusing on Alexis?"
Emma nodded in agreement, "you should take him then."
The former queen raised her eyebrow at her wife and instantly shook her head, "I don't do dogs."
"Why?" Emma scoffed.
Regina sighed deeply and replied, "I just don't like them."
Emma suddenly remembered about a certain event Regina had told her about whereby Cora had conjured a rabid dog, and she instantly felt like a complete moron.
Emma began to nod and said, "okay we'll find him…" The blonde trailed off as Alfie scurried over to Regina and began to tentatively sniff at her heels. After a few moments he excitedly jumped up her leg, clearly asking to be picked up.
Regina swallowed hard and looked up at Emma, who nodded in encouragement.
After a moment she leaned down and tentatively lifted the dog up.
Alfie panted happily as she looked him over, and without warning he licked the side of her face.
Emma looked on amused, and Alexis began to giggle. Regina just shook her head, and said, "fine I'll take the dog, for one night, but you're still an idiot."
With a quick 'good bye' to her sick daughter, she disappeared in a cloud of smoke, and Emma tried not to laugh at the fact that Regina didn't want to be seen walking down the street with a puppy.
Emma and David exchanged a smirk, before the child began to try and itch, "let's find you some oven mitts," Emma chuckled, at the girls excited laugh.
Having found out that her parents and had each had been previously afflicted with chicken pox,she quickly took a shower at their apartment and left her to her sleepover with her uncle.
What the was met with when she got home surprised her more than she ever thought it would.
As soon as she had opened the door, Alfie ran up, picked up a ball and ran back towards the living room.
Emma managed to shake off her surprise, and followed the dog, to find the ball in Regina's hand, who was scratching the puppies stomach with a huge smile on her face.
"Hey," Emma laughed.
Regina's head snapped up and she quickly jumped to her feet, "where's Alexis?"
"With my parents, mom said that she wants to make sure that Neal gets it as a child as well so I just left them to it."
Regina nodded in understanding, clearly trying to hide the ball that she had just thrown.
"So…" Emma began.
Regina blew out a breath, "yes we can keep him."
Emma put her arms up in triumph and launched forward to kiss her wife.
With her arms wrapped around Regina's waist she asked, "he can sleep in our bed right?"
Regina just looked over Emma's shoulder to where Alfie was walking away from a pile of something that was certainly not cute.
Pushing her arms down, she replied "no" and pointed at her reason, before leaving the blonde to deal with it as she picked Alfie up.
